Good answer Sylvia!  I don't think it matters whether you are a racer or 
non racer.  From what I've seen I met my buddy who just won 2 50's back to 
back when he was racing for last place:}  So just because you raced today 
doesn't mean you are a "Racer", just that you got a wild hair going and 
maybe saw a nude jogger and hauled butt outta there:}}}}}!!!!

But you are right about it is all relative to where you are in your career 
in this sport.  It IS everything you've done up to this point!
